Pinarello is taking the Dogma on a long-distance ride
Three years after the debut of the first Dogma XC, Pinarello is expanding its mountain bike lineup. The Italian manufacturer isn’t phasing out its previous successful model, but is giving it a new name: The Dogma XC becomes the Dogma XCR and remains the top-of-the-line model designed exclusively for cross-country racing.
The track record speaks for itself. Tom Pidcock and Pauline Ferrand-Prévot have already ridden the bike to world championship titles. Pidcock also won Olympic gold on it in 2024, became European champion in 2025, and claimed his second cross-country world championship title in Val di Sole in 2026.
The Dogma XCR remains on the offensive
Along with its new name, the Dogma XCR also features a revised spec. RockShox contributes a SID Ultimate Flight Attendant with 120 millimeters of travel and a SIDLuxe Ultimate Flight Attendant shock. It also features an electronic Reverb AXS Vario seatpost with 100 to 150 millimeters of travel, depending on frame size.
For the wheels, Pinarello relies on DT Swiss XRC1200 rims, fitted with 2.4-inch Vittoria Mezcal Race tires. The drivetrain features SRAM’s XX SL Eagle AXS, including a power meter. Visually, the top-of-the-line model stands out with its new “Arctic Flame” paint finish. The price is equally top-tier: 14,700 Swiss francs.
The Dogma XCT is built for long distances
Joining the XCR at the top of the model lineup is the Dogma XCT. It builds on the racing foundation but shifts its focus toward marathon and downcountry riding. Pinarello continues to promise high efficiency and precise handling, but combines these qualities with greater control on technical descents and more robust components for long and varied races.
The frame is made of TorayCa M40J carbon. Up front is a Fox 34 SL Factory with 120 millimeters of travel, and at the rear is a Fox Float Factory. A Shimano XTR Di2 12-speed drivetrain handles the shifting, complemented by DT Swiss XRC1200 wheels, a Race Face carbon handlebar, and a Fox Transfer Vario seatpost with 120 to 150 millimeters of travel. Maxxis Rekon 2.4-inch tires underscore the bike’s slightly downhill-oriented design. The Dogma XCT costs 13,250 Swiss francs.
Three more affordable models round out the family
Below the two Dogma models, Pinarello is introducing the new XC Series. The XCR9 follows the classic cross-country concept. Its TorayCa T900 carbon frame is paired with SRAM XO Eagle, FSA SCi30 wheels, and a RockShox SID Select+ suspension fork and SIDLuxe Select+ shock. The XCR9 costs 8,550 Swiss francs.
Like the Dogma XCT, the XCT9 is geared more toward long races and challenging descents. It combines the T900 carbon frame with Shimano XT Di2, DT Swiss XR1700 wheels, and a Fox 34 Factory with 120 millimeters of travel. The price is 8,500 Swiss francs.
The entry-level model is the XCT7, priced at 6,350 Swiss francs. It also features the T900 carbon frame. The main differences lie in the components: Sram Eagle 90 drivetrain, RockShox SID 35 Base, and SIDLuxe Select+.
In this way, Pinarello has turned a single cross-country race bike into an entire model family. The XCR remains tuned for maximum racing performance, while the XCT models offer more reserves for marathons, downcountry, and technically demanding trails. The new lineup will be on public display for the first time at Sea Otter Europe.
